Climate Controls

8-3

There might be a slight change in
engine performance when the air
conditioning compressor shuts off
and turns on again. This is normal.
The system is designed to make
adjustments to help with fuel
economy while still maintaining the
selected temperature.

The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so a
small amount of water might drip
under the vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine. This is
normal.

@

(Recirculation): Press to turn

the recirculation mode on or off. An
indicator light on the button comes
on to show that the recirculation
mode is on. This mode recirculates
and helps to quickly cool the air
inside the vehicle. It can be used to
prevent outside air and odors from
entering the vehicle.

The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor/defog, defrost,
or defogging modes. If recirculation
is selected in these modes, the
indicator will flash or not come on.

Air Vents

Use the thumbwheel on the outlets
to change the direction of the
air flow.

Lift up or push down on the
thumbwheel located in the center of
the outlet to direct the air up or
down, or slide the thumbwheel to
the left or right to direct the airflow
from side‐to‐side.

Operation Tips

.

Clear away any ice, snow or
leaves from the air inlets at the
base of the windshield that may
block the flow of air into the
vehicle.

.

Use of non-GM approved hood
deflectors may adversely affect
the performance of the system.

.

Keep the path under the front
seats clear of objects to help
circulate the air inside of the
vehicle more effectively.
